Albino Clown Knifefish
A rare predatory centrepiece fish with a striking pale body and flowing knife-like shape
The Albino Clown Knifefish is an eye-catching colour form of the Clown Knifefish, displaying a creamy white to pale pink body with translucent fins and reddish eyes. Its long, compressed body and rippling anal fin create a smooth, graceful swimming motion unlike almost any other freshwater fish.
This species grows extremely large and requires a spacious aquarium with powerful filtration, open swimming room, secure hiding places and a tightly fitted lid. Albino Clown Knifefish are nocturnal predators and will eat fish small enough to fit in their mouths, so they are best suited to experienced aquarists with appropriately sized tank mates.

The Albino Clown Knifefish is a stunning addition to my aquarium. Its pale body and flowing fins create a unique visual effect. I’ve had it for three months and it’s active at night, hunting quietly. The tank is large and well-filtered, and I’ve made sure to keep larger, non-vulnerable fish as companions.

Beautiful fish with a very graceful movement. I expected it to be aggressive, but it’s mostly active at night and doesn’t attack other fish. The tank setup required some planning, but it’s worth it for the visual appeal.

It’s a striking fish, but I noticed it’s quite active and needs a lot of space. I’m still adjusting to its nocturnal habits. The filtration system has to be strong to handle the waste from such a large fish.
